As background, the legal team for Michael Roman, a Trump Campaign official who is a co-defendant in the case, alleged that DA Willis was conducting an affair with Mr. Wade in an early January legal filing. They wrote, “Mr. Roman also moves the Court for an order disqualifying the district attorney, her office, and the special prosecutor from further prosecuting the instant matter on the grounds that the district attorney and the special prosecutor have been engaged in an improper, clandestine personal relationship during the pendency of this case, which has resulted in the special prosecutor, and, in turn, the district attorney, profiting significantly from this prosecution at the expense of the taxpayers.”
